Optimization of Active Contours
Ph.D. Thesis, implemented in Matlab
The problems  of under-  or over-segmentation  by active  contours  in brain CT scans occur mainly due to low contrast edges within the parenchyma, pathologies and traumatic manifestations.  The  proposed  approach  uses  cognitive  polyrepresentation  of  clinical  and image data, feedforward backpropagation artificial neural networks and anisotropic contrast enhancement  to automatically  seed the initial contour and then regulate  the internal and eternal image energies to optimize the evolution of the active contours without edges.  The applicability  of  the  approach  on  segmentation  of  intracranial  haematomas  is  evaluated against the experts’ intuition and Jaccard Similarity Index of >0.87 is achieved.
 
Automated Estimation of Brain Ratios and Indices on Axial CT Scans
Research Publication, implemented in Matlab
Linear  measurements  on  brain  CT  scans  provide  clinicians  and  surgeons  opportunity  to estimate clinically significant ratios and indices. The automated algorithm, using feedforward backpropagation artificial neural networks and modified active contours, estimates these on the input axial CT slices with an Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC) of > 0.97. Integration of   automated   systems   in   clinical   and   research   settings   can   significantly   reduce   the radiologists’ workload and inter-observer and intra-observer variability.
 
Real–time Registration of Medical Images
Role – Principal Investigator, Algorithm Designer
The surgical  planning  is usually  performed  on pre-surgical  medical  images  (CT). However, during the surgery, the effects of gravity and surgeon’s intervention can displace the region of interest. The system performs a real-time registration of the pre-surgical medical images (CT)  with  the  ultrasound  images  during  surgery  to  assist  the  surgeon  in  accessing  the planned  region  of  interest   with  minimal  damage  to  surrounding   viscera  and  tissues. Evaluation of algorithm, designed in Matlab with GPU acceleration for real-time registration, is being done for brain and abdominal surgery.
 
Estimation of Size of Infarction and Hypertrophic Changes in Cardiac MRI
Role – Principal Investigator, Algorithm Designer
The cardiac MRI cine sequences  present the physicians  with significant  information  about the  myocardium.  The  system  analyses  the  thickness  of chamber  walls  and  identifies  any infarction  using  modified  active  contours.  The  measurements  also  provide  analyses  of hypertrophic changes and any septal defects. Implementation is in Matlab.
 
Safe Campus – Surveillance using Drones
Role – Co–Investigator, Algorithm Designer (computer vision and machine learning)
The system comprises of autonomous drones capable of segmentation, recognition and identification  of personnel within the given perimeter. The video streams from the drones are centrally analysed using image processing and machine learning with Gabor Wavelets, HOG and HAAR Wavelets as pertinent features and feedforward backpropagation  ANN and PCA for pattern matching. Motion estimation is achieved through Lucas-Kanade method and Kalman   Filters,   once  the  subject   is  identified.   The  flight   control   is  then  accordingly transmitted  to  the  ASIC  in  drones  to  follow  unidentified  persons.  The  research  is  being carried out on DGI Phantom 4, ERLE and 3DR Solo drones. Implementation is in Matlab, C++, OpenCV  and  ROS  with  respective  SDK’s.  GPU  acceleration  is  also  being  evaluated  for enhanced efficiency using nVidia CUDA library.
 
Hypermedia based English language Assessment and Learning (HEAL)
Role – Project Director, Algorithm Designer (machine learning), Technical Team–Lead
The  challenges  faced  by  the  L2  learners  of  English  language  arise  from  the  intricacies concurrent  with the absorption  of meta-linguistic  skills such as rules of syntax,  grammar, vocabulary  and  morphology,  limited  practice  time,  lack  of  teachers’  attention,  introversion
 
or shyness of learners in the presence of their peers and delivering identical course contents to pupils in the same class but with different  levels of language  proficiency.  The adaptive algorithm  uses  machine  learning  to  classify  the  students  based  on  their  demographic, cognitive,    learning   and   knowledge    profiles   and   presents   them   with   personalized, hypermedia content. The ubiquitous system is adaptable for applicability in school, college and undergraduate courses of English. Development platform is PHP, Java and Matlab.
 
Student Information Management System (SMS Based)
Role – Project Manager, Software Architect, Designer
The  system  is  a  three-tiered  Web  Application  developed  using  MS  C#.Net  and  MS  SQL Server. The system is capable of push and pull notifications using SMS service on GSM. The Setup is a grid of 12 workstations each connected to 4 GSM modules, and a central server running the database server.
 
Learning Management System
Role – Project Manager, Software Architect,  
The  system  is  a  three-tiered  Web  Application  developed  using  MS  C#.Net  and  MS  SQL Server. The system is capable of handling tasks ranging from online information about the courses to scheduling of lectures and human resource management.  The reporting engine can provide comprehensive reports of students’ transcripts, attendance and class schedules. The system is administered through a Content Management System (CMS).
 
Electronic Health Records Management System
Role – Project Manager/ Designer,  
This comprehensive  Patient Care System provides complete  resource planning, scheduling and distribution across different departments within a medical facility starting from patient registration till the discharge slip is printed. Implemented in C#.
 
Inventory Control System with POS (CMS Based)
Role – Project Manager, Software Architect,
The  system  is  a  three-tiered  Web  Application  developed  using  MS  C#.Net  and  MS  SQL Server.  Being  an  online  application,  it  requires  only  thin  clients  and  can  be  configured through CMS to cater for a small to medium sized company. The system is flexible to handle multiple   categories   and   variations   of   products   and   it   is   administered    through   a comprehensive Content Management System (CMS).

 Prototype: The System MathNat for Automatic Formalization of Math Texts
University de Savoie, France
A prototype the system MathNat (Mathematics in controlled Natural language) was developed as proof of concept during my PhD. The system allows writing mathematical proofs found in textbooks using a controlled language. This controlled language was developed in Grammatical Framework. It is further translated in a formal description language called MathAbs, which is later translated into first order language. This transfer module was developed in Haskell.

PhD Research Thesis
Title: “Delay-Adaptation in FPGA Based Asynchronous Micro-pipeline Architectures”
Asynchronous Micro-pipeline implementation requires delay models. Adaptive delay models implementation is a challenge due to the hardness of timing control as logic mapping and routing is totally tools dependent. An adaptive delay element is to be proposed that adapts the wire and logic delays of underlying FPGA device hence making the design delay-adaptive and FPGA technology independent.

Investigation of Differences in Language Use of Speakers with Different Verbal Intelligence (Master’s Thesis)
People with different verbal intelligence use different sentences and sentence structures. The complexity of sentences may be estimated using different approaches, for example, readability formulas. Most of them use surface-oriented indicators (the average sentence length or the average number of syllables per word). Some readability checkers analyze texts at syntactic and semantic levels. However, they are based on linear models, which are not always able to give a precise estimation of the text complexity. This thesis was divided into two steps. The first step was the training of non-linear models for the precise estimation of the complexity of texts. The models are trained on a corpus of 500 different texts and their readability judgments. The second step was the analysis of dependency between the text complexity and speakers’ verbal intelligence scores.
Vehicle Tracking System (Bachelors Final Year Project/Thesis)
The project contained two phases; the first phase was about tracking the vehicle through SMS’s and the second phase was about tracking the vehicle through GPRS. Vehicle tracking was accomplished by interfacing a GSM phone with a GPS device through a microcontroller.
